Got it right now. The flu shot missed the mark this year. The CDC guessed wrong.

“The flu shot missed the mark this year. The CDC guessed wrong.”

They have to guess on the strains many months ahead of time. I’m amazed they get as right as they do.
I just got my flu shot a week ago. Its all over the place here; hoping I get enough immunity from the shot to at least blunt the effects if I do get the flu.
I have had good luck with the shot in years past.

You said what I was thinking. What’s the point of getting a vaccine that’s ineffective against this flu? Especially if you’re one to have side effects from the vaccine?

I had to go to the hospital a couple of weeks ago. Sure enough, four days later I had a fever of 103 and felt awful. Three days later, I was fine.

The vaccine lays me up for weeks.
